Finally, after this string of bad (PR-wise) FDA news, the FDA does something to bust the trend.
This wonderful FDA news -- for men:
Breast implants, with suspicious history, finally approved! (For women)

So you can made to look ripe enough, through miracles of elective surgery, for those slow motion Bay-Watch movies while women are waiting for other FDA health decisions. But read the above article for just how safe those implants really are. Potential trophy wives considering their life-expectancy might recalculate their cost/benefit ratios.
Hmmm...one might argue that these Biggie McBoob implants are really only there to please men.

Yes, and we already know most plans and Medicare cover Viagra, Cialis, etc. We've got major public health concerns with bird flu, West Nile virus, AIDS, and FDA focuses on boobs, in a way the FCC can't allow portrayed. Interesting priorities showing up for America's public health.
Hmm...are these implants approved for use by men? Maybe as a hiney-enhancement? Embed a 6 pack in abdomen to gain that permanent 6 pack ab look? Toss a pair into arms to bulk up biceps and triceps? Between the ears of FDA officials?
